THE ROOM Is HERE.

The ''boom" came slowly up this way, but
it has come. Like delayed letter or post
poned blessing, it is none the less welcome for
being little late in coming. 1t was with US
years ago, but left for ether parts, and has
been moving about from place to place until,
tired of wandering it has concluded to return.
Let US open wide the doors, bid it welcome
and make it feel at home. There is no better
place for boom that understands its business
and knows how to appreciate its advantages
than right here in this city. Already it is
making its presence felt in the unusual ac-
tivity of real estate. pleasant reminder Of
old times, and still more pleasant forerunner
of new. With regard to booms the pleasures
of hope are even more delightful than the
pleasures of memory. In this respect Indian
apoiis has past, but it has also future.
Concerning the present boom we remark that
it is genuine boom and not an imitation or
spurious article. The manner of its coming

THERE is a bill pending in the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature which, if passed, will per-
init married woman to sell, mortgage or
lease her property without consulting her hus-
band, or without his having to sign the deed
if she sell real estate; she may also be
sued on all contracts, the creditor to get judg-
men. on her separate estate. 1t is spoken of
as bill to enfranchise women so far as their
property rights are concerned; but as the
privilege of being sued was not one which
most women desire, and is one not pleasing
to the man who desires to defraud his cred
itors by transferring his property to nom
suable wife, the maker Of the bill may reason
ably be suspected of sarcasm. Pennsylvania
is not the only State in which married women
have more legal rights than conduce to the
peace and prosperity of the community.

THE opening game of the League series will
be played tomorrow afternoon between the
Detroit and indianapolis clubs The Detroits
are among the strongest teams in the country,
and the contest between them and the home
nine will be tussle of giants. Let the occa-
sion be gala one. Already movement
among the merchants has been started for 3
o'clock closing, so that the clerks
and employees may attend the game.
This should be general. Americans
do not have enough outing"
or enough holidays. Base ball is our national
game. Indianapolis has good club; it is
under honorable local management and it
should be handsomely supported. 1t would
help the "boom" to start the League season
with ten thousand people at the Athletic
Park Let the game tomorrow be so patron
lied as to show that Indianapolis is in the base
ball belt, and that it has gone in to win.

A LARGE pottery manufacturing firm at
East Liverpool, O., is threatened with boy
colt by the Knights of Labor because it era
ploys non union workmen. The knights sent
the firm an ultimatum on the 10Th inst. re-
curing them to yield the point in controversy
or submit to boycott. In their reply de-
Ginning to yield, the firm say 1--WE have no
fight with the Knights of Labor and have in
no way made war upon them, and have never
in any way interfered with anyone getting
employment anywhere and under any con-
ditions he saw fit, and believe this to be the
right of all American citizens; and we claim
the right to manage our own business without
the dictation Of those who, under no known
right, have any claim upon it or u.s." This is
manly and in accordance with American ideas
of fair play. The workmen employed by
this firm are honest, sober, industrious and
skillful. They earn good wages and are con-
tented. That their employers should be boy
cotted and the men thrown out of employment
simply because they do not belong to
particular labor organization is monstrous
proposition. It illustrates a new form of
tyranny from which labor and workingmen
might have much to fear, it, within the past
year, particularly, there had not been so many
demonstrations of the utter powerlessness of
any organization to succeed in unlawful and
un-American measures.

THE gentleman who has monopoly of the
sprinkling business at st. Louis objects
to reducing his exorbitant rates, on the
ground that to do so would compel him to
drive his own wagon. and this, he declares,
he can't do, because he boards at the South

opposition Of the street railway managers here

A LEGISLATIVE committee appointed in
Michigan to investigate the assessment in
surance business in that State has discovered
a startling state of things. This so-called
assessment insurance is better known as

worst phases of speculative gambling. The
committee finds that it prevails to surpris-

gambling on the longevity of bedridden par

THE financial aspect of labor strikes is one
that does not seem to interest strikers, and
yet it ought to. The money loss involved in
big strike ought to count for something.
even as against the assertion of claims which
are not always as substantial as the striking
parties imagine. The vindication of abstract
rights may cost more than they are worth.
The right to strike belongs to every man who
has labor to SELL but the exercise of the right
may be very unwise. For example, it is esti-
mated that the recent two weeks strike of the
carpenters in Chicago involved money, loss
to the men and employers of nearly $780,
900. This is the actual estimated loss, aside
from the disastrous effects of the strike on the
building trade. The loss of wages of 5000
men for two weeks was over 5000, 0OO and
the expenses of walking delegates, job stew
ards, secretaries, hall rent, minor disburse-
ments and the sums paid to strikers with fam
lilies was about $3.50, 900 more The rest of
the estimated loss is represented by the for
feits and other losses falling upon the con-
tractors by reason of their inability to fulfill
their engagements. The damage to the sea-
sons building trade can hardly be estimated.
It would take very large consignment Of alb
stract rights to offset these losses, and they
fall, perhaps, more heavily on the strikers
and their families than on anybody else.

Mr.. Gillic's Claim Against MIR. Barrett.

new lOrk sun.
Henry F. Gillig arrived in the Etruria yester-
day, and is stopping at the Brunswick. He said
last night that he had come over from London
for the express purpose of pressing suit for the
money which he claims Lawrence Barrett, the
actor. owes him. This money, he says, he ad-
vanced to help the actor out of the financial
strait he was in during his London engagement.
In reference to Mr.. Barrett's claim that Mr..
Gillig demands usurous interest for the loan,
Mr. Gillig said that whatever the terms were
Mr. Barrett accented them.
He told the actor when the latter applied to
him, that the American Exchange was not
banking conern and that if he advanced him
money enough to see him through his London
season it would expect to be paid extra, just as
a railroad corporation would demand extra rates
for running a special train. Mr.. Giie said
further that he proposed to collect every single
cent of the loan, even if he had to pay $40 900 in
litigation to do it Actor Barrett's counsel is
Col. Bob Ingersol The suit will soon be begun.

For the past fifteen years some Indianapo-
lis people have been lamenting the fact that
foreign capital did not come here, and have
excused their own apathy and lack of public
spirit on the ground that local investments of
money involved too great risks. 1t is hardly
becoming in these citizens to kick at foreign
capital so viciously when, at last, it does
show disposition to lend a hand.

Not long ago the correspondent Of a New
York paper which has been very friendly to En-
dicott directed by the editor in chief to call
On the Secretary of War in reference to some
matter, and attempted to carry out mis- instruc
tions. AS usual he was unable to climb, over
the barriers that have been erected By that Off
cial to protect him from the public, and, after
repeated failures to get a glimpse of his high
mightiness either at his residence or his Office
wrote up his experience and sent it over to the
editor as an explanation why he had not COM
piled with his instructions. The article was
published with some caustic comment about
official who was too big to be with the
naked eye, and a marked copy sent under seal to
the Secretary. 1t probably reached him, for the
next day he sent his private secretary down to
the Office of the correspondent to invite him to
the War Department. The latter refused to CO.
Another emissary was dispatched in the person
of prominent army officer with whom the cor
respondent visited the Secretary. The latter ex-
planned that he had been very much engaged
and had been compelled to deny himself to call
ers. wherenpon the correspondent bluntly told
him that he need not be afraid anyone would
call upon him who was not forced to do so, and
that few who went once ever repeated the visit
